The present disclosure provides for methods of diagnosing and treating bacterial infections. Human Intelectin 1 (hIntL-1) has been shown to bind selectively to glycan components on bacteria including
Streptococcus pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumonia
and
Yersinia pestis
. This interaction can be targeted to identify, purify and therapeutically target such organisms.
本公开提供了一种诊断和治疗细菌感染的方法。已经证明人类Intelectin 1(hInt
L-1)选择性地结合细菌的糖基组分,包括肺炎链球菌、奇异变形杆菌、普通变形杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌和鼠疫耶尔森氏菌。这种相互作用可以被用来识别、纯化和治疗这些细菌。
